The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Spend the Rest of Your Life in Prison Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Spend the Rest of Your Life in Prison As soon as she finished speaking, the entire gallery fell into an eerie silence!

This painting was the gallery’s prized possession. Many people came to the gallery just to see this painting, making it a popular attraction on social media. It had even been featured in many television interviews.

How could this painting possibly be fake?

Mi Zhe curled his lips into a smirk.

“Miss, this painting has been authenticated by people from television channels. It’s absolutely genuine. Don’t pretend to understand if you really don’t know and speak recklessly.”

Tan Hua became anxious as well, “Miss, how can this painting be fake? Many artists have authenticated it. It’s definitely an original!”

Qingwu shook her head calmly, her gaze fixed on the interplay of light and shadow in “Spring River Flower Moon Night.”

The original “Spring River Flower Moon Night” had several roses painted in the top left corner as embellishments. It was a stroke of genius she added casually while Master Painter Ji Changfeng was at work.

Those roses elevated the visual effect of the entire “Spring River Flower Moon Night,” and Old Master Ji Changfeng found it so delightful that he ended up hanging it in his bedroom.

When it was first exhibited, the roses were not painted on it, so even if people later forged counterfeits, they were unaware of the existence of those roses.

Though the painting before her was executed very well, it was undeniably a fake.

Many details were overdone, placing it in a class below the original “Spring River Flower Moon Night.”

In front of everyone, Qingwu pointed to a corner of “Spring River Flower Moon Night,” saying, “Master Changfeng’s original ‘Spring River Flower Moon Night,’ did not have this brushstroke order.”

Mi Zhe sneered, “Miss, Master Ji Changfeng’s brushstrokes are difficult to imitate. How could anyone forge his work?”

Qingwu looked at Tan Hua, “Bring paper and pen.”

“I’ll get it right away.”

The gallery lacked nothing in the way of art supplies. Tan Hua quickly fetched an easel, handing over the finest paints and brushes to Qingwu.

Qingwu picked up a brush and began mixing colors on the spot, effortlessly blending them into the colors of “Spring River Flower Moon Night.”

It was well known that what was most difficult to replicate about Master Changfeng’s works were his brushstrokes and colors. In the industry, no one could rival this skill.

Many had attempted to imitate Master Changfeng’s works but gave up at the first step of color-mixing, unable to recreate the hues.

Yet, Qingwu managed it in an instant. One color might have been a fluke, but she quickly mixed each color, and began sketching with the brush. In no time, a corner of “Spring River Flower Moon Night” was painted!

“These are Master Ji Changfeng’s characteristic brushstrokes. This ‘Spring River Flower Moon Night’ not only has incorrect brushwork but also color issues.”

Everyone was stunned!

What Qingwu painted on the small drawing board looked more vivid than the painting used for the exhibition, the rippling waters of the Spring River appearing majestic under the night sky.

Mi Zhe gritted his teeth, his calves already beginning to tremble.

“Even if Miss can paint, that doesn’t prove the painting is fake… We bought this for three billion…”

Qingwu’s gaze fell on him, cold as water.

“This painting, it was you who painted it, wasn’t it? Those three billion went right into your pocket.”

Cold sweat started to break out on Mi Zhe’s face!

How did she see through it?

No! Impossible! She must just be making baseless allegations!

If this were found out, he’d end up in prison!

“Miss, you can’t slander my good name like this. How could this painting be something I painted?”

Qingwu took out her phone and, in front of everyone, video called Ji Changfeng, directing the camera at the “Spring River Flower Moon Night” in front of her before the old master even spoke.

“What is this? Isn’t this oil painting still in my bedroom?”

Seeing Ji Changfeng caused Tan Hua to set aside the fact that this was a national treasure within the oil painting community. If the painting in the gallery were fake, he as the manager would be held responsible.

“Master, can I inquire, are you sure this painting is a forgery?”

Ji Changfeng chuckled, standing up, and walked to his bedroom to show Tan Hua the genuine “Spring River Flower Moon Night.”

“Look here, this is the one my unremarkable student painted with the roses. Can’t I tell whether what you have is real?

“You bought a fake!”

With Master Ji Changfeng’s personal authentication, everyone in the gallery slumped to the ground!

Qingwu’s gaze fell on Mi Zhe, who was attempting to flee. “Manager Tan, if you don’t apprehend him now, are you waiting to be caught yourself?”

Tan Hua snapped back to his senses, quickly rushing to subdue Mi Zhe.

“Three billion! You’ll spend the rest of your life in jail!”

Mi Zhe hadn’t anticipated his secret being uncovered so swiftly after all this time, becoming flustered and fearful.

“I did it for the gallery! My paintings aren’t inferior to Ji Changfeng’s. Yet you refuse to display my works and only let me restore some old paintings. When I created this painting, didn’t you treat it as a treasure?”

“How dare you still argue! You have committed a crime!”

Mi Zhe hung his head in dejection, knowing today was his downfall.

The police soon arrived at the gallery and took Mi Zhe away.

Tan Hua respectfully asked, “Miss, should this fake be destroyed or…”

“Write Mi Zhe’s name on it before destroying it, and display it in the replica section for some time. He has talent but went down the wrong path.”

“But it’s fake, and Mi Zhe was so excessive. Having it in our gallery could harm our reputation…”

Qingwu sat in a chair, looking down at Tan Hua, her gaze sweeping over all the gallery’s staff.

“You wish to prove yourselves. I’ll give you the chance. Paint a picture for me now. The good ones will be exhibited, and the gallery will share the profits with you.”

“In my gallery, there’s no distinction between master artists and beginners.”

“Similarly, I won’t tolerate those who maliciously suppress or deceive.”

Her voice was cold, quickly pinpointing all the management flaws in the gallery and offering new demands.

“Tomorrow morning, I want to see a revised personnel structure and financial report.”

“Yes!”

Tan Hua’s forehead was covered in sweat!

Initially thinking this was just a case of a new leader stirring things up, he realized that Miss Qingwu genuinely understood both musical instruments and paintings. Be it oil painting, ancient painting, or even manga exhibition features, she could spot issues with just one glance.

The area managers all turned speechless.

“Redesign the exhibition areas to enhance visual effects, rotate out some paintings, clear out wasteful and useless areas.”

Qingwu took out a stack of paper and quickly sketched out all the illogical designs present in the gallery.

The heads present truly hadn’t expected Miss Qingwu to understand everything!

She could pinpoint issues after just one look!

If they really implemented Miss Qingwu’s suggestions, the gallery would surely be revamped!

“Yes, we’ll start right away!”

“Appreciate the hard work.”

Tan Hua now didn’t dare make any sly moves in front of Qingwu, nodding and bowing continuously, “Not hard, not hard!”
